The chief elder of the Roland Temple Presbyterian Church, he has a very legendary name: Prometheus!
This name is the same as the god who gave mankind fire in myths and legends.
In reality, the chief elder of the Roland Temple, his own experience is also full of legendary colors!
Prometheus was born in a noble family, but because he was an illegitimate son, he could not be recognized by the family! He believed in theology since he was a child. Because of his poor life, he entered a theism monastery in a city in the Kingdom of Sauron when he was seven years old and became a minor monk.
After that, Prometheus immediately showed his extraordinary genius!
After practicing in the monastery for two years, nine-year-old Prometheus was selected in the selection of the temple that year, gained the qualification to enter the temple to practice, and became one of the many practitioners in the temple!
It is worth mentioning that, some time later, Prometheus was trained as a warrior, and he was once spotted by an older generation of the temple's paladin who had retired to practice in the temple, and became one of his disciples. one!
At the age of fourteen, Prometheus received the honor of a knight of the Holy Knights and became a member of the Holy Knights, the strongest army that defends the temple! Then, a rebellion broke out in the Kingdom of Gordon in the Roland Continent. The reason for the rebellion was that the old king did not have time to appoint the next heir after his death, and the king's three sons started an endless civil war!
In order to maintain peace, the Holy Knights were ordered to quell the civil strife in the Kingdom of Gordon.
Fifteen-year-old Prometheus participated in the war and was awarded a Medal of Honor for his outstanding performance in the war. Later in the war, he performed outstandingly during a raid and personally killed the man who openly called for rebellion. One of the three sons of the old king of the temple.
Because of this great achievement, he was promoted to the captain of a Holy Knights. Prometheus, who was only sixteen years old, became a third-level knight of the Holy Knights!
At that time, he was also the youngest third-level knight in the entire Holy Knights!
What happened after that was completely different.
If the development continued on a normal track, the talented Prometheus would probably go back and continue to receive the teachings of the old paladin. His future would be limitless. People even believed that this talented young man would He will probably become another Paladin in the future.
However, Prometheus expressed his decision to quit the Holy Knights, give up his knighthood, and become a practitioner again.
Two years later, a drought occurred in the Kingdom of Gordon, with not a drop of rain falling for ten consecutive months.
Prometheus made a move that made everyone laugh. He actually set out from the temple alone, and then kowtowed ten steps towards the capital of the Kingdom of Gordon, praying devoutly to the gods along the way. And such a journey is undoubtedly extremely long.
At that time, everyone laughed at the seventeen-year-old Prometheus and thought he was crazy! Even the elders of the temple and those powerful figures were helpless, but he naively believed that he, a small and insignificant young practitioner, could move God.
The long prayer journey from the temple was extremely difficult. At the beginning, people could see this young man covered in dust, carrying a heavy bag and heading towards the Kingdom of Gordon, kowtowing every ten steps, and passed out many times. By the roadside.
As time goes by, no one gradually laughs at him. After all, even if he is a lunatic, such behavior is completely worthy of respect!
Starting from the temple, this slow prayer journey lasted for two full months before reaching the capital of the Kingdom of Gordon!
In these two months, Prometheus has undoubtedly won countless hearts! And the admiration of countless people!
And something even more magical happened! Unexpectedly, just when he arrived at the capital of King Gordon after traveling thousands of miles, when he took the first step into the gate of the capital, the originally scorching clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds and it started pouring rain! !
From then on, the name of Prometheus spread throughout the Roland continent! People even called him "the one chosen by the gods"! !
At the age of twenty-four, a plague occurred in the Teutonic Kingdom. Prometheus followed the temple personnel to the Teutonic Kingdom as a practitioner. During the plague that year, countless priests and priests died of illness, and Prometheus overdrawn too much magic because of excessive use of healing magic, which resulted in huge damage to his body - he His right eye is permanently blind!
Such an experience also gave him the legendary nickname "One-Eyed Saint" in the Teutonic Kingdom!
Later, the twenty-four-year-old Prometheus was selected by an elder of the Temple Council of Elders at that time to become a disciple.
At the temple's once-a-decade debate meeting, Prometheus once again became the focus. He actually identified an ancient divine scroll that had been collected for nearly a hundred years as a forgery. And just after the debate, the thirty-four-year-old Prometheus became his teacher, the successor designated by the Presbyterian elders!
After ten years of waiting, the forty-four-year-old Prometheus became an elder of the Presbyterian Church! He is also the youngest elder in the history of the temple!
No matter from any angle, such a personal experience is full of legend.
But Prometheus took this legendary color to the extreme!
After he broke away from the Holy Knights and became a practitioner again, he spent almost all his time practicing. Out of the twelve months of the year, he closed himself up for almost eleven months. No one knows what level his practice has reached.
"Wait..." After hearing this, Rody frowned and interrupted Miaosi: "You mean, he is probably a magician more powerful than you?"
Miaosi shook her head: "No, that's not what I meant. The practice of temple practitioners is not simply magic practice. The practice of practitioners mainly revolves around the study of theology, and the study of life, gods, and one's own thoughts. Qianxiu!”
"What happened next?"
Miaosi sighed: "Later..."
No matter from any perspective, Prometheus is the hardest-working of the many practitioners in the temple, even after he became an elder and a member of the Council of Elders!
On weekdays, this serious-faced young elder is rarely seen. He only appears during major events in the temple.
But then, Prometheus began to accept disciples. He accepted a total of three disciples, and each of those three disciples later achieved great success!
All three of his disciples chose the path of becoming magicians and practiced. After that, they all received extremely high evaluations in the selection. In the end, all three of his disciples deservedly became "saints" in the temple! He was assigned to various kingdoms in Roland Continent and took charge of the religious power of one party!
Miaosi suddenly smiled and said: "When I was young, I used to worship Prometheus as my idol. My only wish at that time was to be selected by him to become his disciple one day. It's just a pity. Later he announced that he would no longer accept disciples, and I was completely disappointed.”
"No more disciples?" Rody frowned: "Why?"
Miao Si sighed: "It is said that in order to concentrate on studying theology, he declared that he was afraid that teaching would distract him. He practiced behind closed doors for a long time and finally wrote the "Gospel of Prometheus". After being approved by the Presbyterian Church, it was later included in the canon of the Divine Religion! It was the only work included in the canon in the past two hundred years!"
Rody couldn't help but sigh: "So, this man is really powerful! It seems like he knows everything! A knight! A practitioner, a philosopher, an excellent teacher... "
Miaosi hesitated and added: "Including politicians!"
"politician?"
"Yes!" Miaosi sighed, her tone becoming serious again...
The Temple Council of Elders at that time was divided into two factions. One sect is called the "Ascetic Sect", which advocates that people's desires should be controlled and selfless asceticism should be devoted to it - and Prometheus is regarded as a representative figure of this sect.
The other faction was called the "Cloud" faction. The view of this school is that people living in this world should take things as they come. All life and destiny are arranged by the gods. There is no need to deliberately do anything. As long as you do it according to the arrangements of fate, you are in line with the gods. Original intention!
Later, at a debate held once every ten years, Prometheus silenced the elders represented by the "Yun" faction, and the "Yun" faction was defeated that year.
"This seems to be nothing, just a victory in a debate." Rody frowned.
Miaosi smiled faintly: "This may be nothing, but then, the leader of the Yun Sect, the representative elder, was ashamed of the fiasco in the debate and actually committed suicide behind closed doors! If his body hadn't been found to be stinky later..."
"Suicide?" Rody sneered: "Is it really suicide?"
Miaosi nodded: "I understand what you mean, but it was indeed a suicide! It has nothing to do with Prometheus directly. The temple has been investigating the matter for a long time, and since the end of the debate, Prometheus himself has also I went to practice behind closed doors and didn’t even step out of the door!”
"Then what?"
Miaosi smiled bitterly and said: "What happened next is worth pondering! One of the 'Yun' faction elders of the Presbyterian Church died, and someone was immediately selected from among the saints to add... Guess who was selected?"
Rody's eyes lit up: "Is he a disciple of Prometheus?"
Miao Si sighed: "That's right! It's exactly one of his disciples!"
Rody frowned and said: "If the disciples of Prometheus are allowed to enter the Presbyterian Church, will the people from the 'Yun' sect be willing to agree?"
Miaosi said lightly: "I agreed! Because that disciple of Prometheus actually believed in the 'Yun' sect! He was already a disciple of the 'Yun' sect many years ago! And what Prometheus proposed The suggestion is: Let his disciple join the Presbyterian Church, and the vacancy of the saint will be filled by someone from the 'Yun' sect! Of course, the 'Yun' sect agreed to this condition!"
Rody opened his mouth in surprise, and after a moment he let out a long sigh: "How great! He actually thought of this step early, and let his disciples believe in the 'Yun' sect many years ago!!"
Miao nodded and said faintly: "Subsequently, the saint who was added to the Presbyterian Church relied on his strong strength to gradually disintegrate the 'Yun' sect. Later, the 'Yun' sect was almost weak and could no longer compete with him. The 'Ascetic' faction gradually lost its authority and became a foil in the Presbyterian Church."
After that, the authority of Prometheus among the Council of Elders reached its peak, and the army of the temple, the Holy Knights, also tended to favor Prometheus!
Because Prometheus himself was once a member of the Holy Knights, and he was once a disciple of an old Holy Knight. His comrades and senior brothers were almost all over the entire Holy Knights! And his former knight status made it easier to win the favor of the Holy Knights. Compared with other elders, the Holy Knights naturally supported him more!
At this point, Miaosi suddenly frowned and said: "There is also Fielding! Fielding likes me very... very much in the temple..."
Rody said in a deep voice: "So, in order to win over Fielding Paladin, Prometheus deliberately tried to win over you and him?"
Miaosi sighed: "My teacher is also an elder of the 'Ascetic Sect'. It was Prometheus who recommended me to become my teacher's disciple."
Miaosi slowly finished telling the legendary story of the chief elder of the Presbyterian Church. Roddy was silent for a long time before he let out a long breath and couldn't help but sigh: "Awesome! It's really awesome! That's it. After decades of slowly encroaching, the temples of Roland Continent were actually filled with his own influence... This Prometheus is so terrifying... Could it be that he had been planning all this from a long time ago? ?”
Miao Si smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I even suspect that he had already started planning when he gave up his status as a knight and became a practitioner." At this point, she suddenly said in a strange tone: "You know Who does Prometheus admire most?"
Before Rody could answer, Miaosi had already said the answer herself: "It's Moses! The first and only pope in the history of the religion! Moses!"
Rody couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now it seems that he is almost close to his idol - this Prometheus, it seems that he is likely to become the second Pope in the history of the religion!"
A confused look flashed in Rody's eyes, and he said calmly: "Miaosi, do you know? The Paladin who came tonight is actually not here to kill me, but to tell me something: Prometheus Si, he wants to see me! He told me something: There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world!" At this point, Rody smiled bitterly and said: "Prometheus, he is really... The person chosen by the gods? Hum..."
